A & C General Construction paints residential interiors and exteriors across Groton and New London County. Surface prep, primer, and topcoats handled correctly so the finish lasts, with free written estimates before any brush moves.
Interior repaints, full exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, trim and door work, and touch-ups for buyers and sellers in Groton. Every job runs the full sequence: prep, primer where needed, and the topcoats — no shortcuts on any layer.
Exterior work in Groton is scheduled around dew, temperature, and forecast. Paint applied to a damp surface or below product minimums peels within a season. Interiors move faster but demand more attention on cut lines, drop protection, and cure between coats.
Sanding, scraping, washing, filling nail holes, caulking gaps, and priming stains — that is where the finish coat is actually decided. Rushing prep on Groton homes is why paint fails in twelve months instead of ten years. It gets time, not just paint.
Every bare spot, every stain, and every filled area gets primer on Groton jobs before the topcoat goes on. Stain-blocking primer where it needs to be. Bonding primer over glossy trim. Otherwise the topcoat holds unevenly and shows every patch through the sheen.
Standard on every Groton paint job: two full topcoats over prep and primer. Not one-coat coverage tricks that look OK on day one and burnish by week six. The cost is in the labor and the prep, not the extra gallon.
Every Groton paint job ships with a written scope naming the prep steps, the primer product, the paint line, the sheen, the color, the number of coats, and a real start date. Interior color consultations happen before deposit, not after.
The difference between paint that lasts ten years and paint that fails in two is not the brand of paint. It is what happened during the four hours before the first coat went on. Six details separate the two on any Groton job.
A & C spends more time on prep than on paint on every Groton job. Sanding, scraping, washing, caulking, filling, and priming get the hours they need. The finish coat is only as good as the surface underneath it, and cutting prep is how paint jobs fail early.
Every Groton exterior gets pressure-washed and let dry before any prep starts, so paint bonds to a clean substrate.
Loose paint is scraped and edges are sanded on Groton homes until the remaining film is tight. No painting over failing paint.
Every gap around trim, siding, and openings on Groton homes is caulked with paint-grade sealant before topcoats.
Stain-blocking primer on tannin and water stains. Bonding primer on glossy trim. Every bare spot primed on Groton jobs.
Two full topcoats standard on every Groton paint job. One-coat coverage products get two coats anyway.
Drop cloths on every floor, plastic on every surface, and daily cleanup on interior Groton jobs. The home is not a construction site.
Send photos of the project, the surfaces, or the space. A written estimate costs nothing and names exactly what needs to happen next.
